Disarm UCL is a cross-society campaign to get UCL to divest its shares in Cobham plc (who manufacture components for military aircraft and other weapons systems). UCL has shares worth £ 884,000 but this constitutes only about 1 % of UCL's total investments.

On 1 January 2009 UCL has adopted its ethical investment policy.

We will keep campaigning until we KNOW that UCL has ACTUALLY divested it's shares in Cobham. So please bear with us.
